That's My Daughter

Summary by Carrie Dagenhard

This foursome would have made the perfect soundtrack for your favorite 90’s teen blockbuster party scene. Unfortunately, they weren’t around yet. Simple guitar riffs and contagious beats redolent of The Ramones or The Donnas make the St. Louis group a worthy Popfest contender and will undoubtedly put on an excellent live performance.

Their latest album, It Takes Tuna Tango is set to be released the first week of August, and assuming you enjoy upbeat punky indiepop, surely won’t disappoint. While a couple of the members have attended Popfest before, this is the band’s first time playing the festival. And with a new album hot off the press, expect fresh tunes and a lively performance.

Five Questions with That's My Daughter

1. What are your five desert island records?


-End of the Century, Ramones
-Tommy, the Who
-Pacer, the Amps
-Revolver, the Beatles
-Ladies, Women and Girls, Bratmobile

2. Could you classify your sound for people who haven't heard it before?


Grunge revivalists without the heroin, long underwear worn under cut-off shorts, or shitty Butch Vig production sheen. It's girl-boy riff rock aimed equally at your feet, heart, and crotch.

3. What is your favorite place to play, and why?

Where the naked ladies dance with the hole in the wall where That's My Daughter can see it all. Need we explain why?

4. What is the weirdest thing you take on tour?


Cat piss and Bunnygrunt.

5. What should people expect from your Athens PopFest performance?


Non-odorous hot licks and sick riffs.
